The grass is always greener

The field of the Twins’ new stadium in Mpls. is now being covered with Colorado-grown Kentucky blue grass. Although they expect this imported grass to grow in Minnesota, Minnesota grass wouldn’t work there. Local grass growers are up in arms.

While it would make good PR sense for the team to look for local or regional products to fill its needs, nobody has ever suggested that only Minnesota-grown players should be on the team. And they do use Hormel hot dogs even though many, if not most, people in the state who remember 1986 would prefer not to do business with those folks.
